Movie Reviews of Babylon 5 - The Complete Third Season

Movie Review: Excellent continuation
Summary: 5 Stars

The superb Babylon 5 continues seamlessly from Season 2 in this third season. What can I say to express the adoration I have developed for this series? The characters are fascinating, the plot lines are edge-of-your-seat, the special effects finally look extremely decent, and the theme song has morphed into a creepy, 'Shadow'-esque version of the original tune. If this season of Babylon 5 has faults, they escaped me.

Movie Review: About the DVDs - The series itself is awesome!
Summary: 4 Stars

Very short and succint -- the DVD packaging and features are a few years old, and thus they do not offer the same qualities available in the newer box-sets. The interviews are sparse -- commentaries are few and far between. The packaging is that horrible hard plastic, that doesn't secure the DVDs. When the boxset arrived, two of the DVDs were loose in the case -- but fortunately were undamaged. I would have definitely preferred a slim-pak, but it is a small price to pay to own the "best sci-fi series ever :)

Movie Review: Great pay off to the first three seasons
Summary: 5 Stars

If you look at all five regular seasons of BABYLON 5 as one large novel, Season Three would be the part where the pay off for the rather slow first two seasons. (Though, to be honest, most of the slow episodes of the first two seasons were stand alone episodes that networks love to force on show runners and creators. For some bizarre reason they imagine that people not currently watching a show will tune in for the stand alones and then get sucked into the larger narrative. This never works, of course, and fans of shows always identify the stand alone episodes as the weakest part of any series.) B5 had actually started getting much, much better near the end of Season Two with the episodes detailing the destruction of the Narn homeworld and the personal agony of G'Kar. In Season Three they not only kept up the intensity of the arc dealing with the defeat of the Narn, but racheted up the impending war against the Shadows. There was also a sharp decline in the number of stand alone episodes.

Movie Review: Loved It
Summary: 5 Stars

My husband and I were big B5 fans when the series was on TV and it has been wonderful to watch the series again and see that even with the passage of time, the series has not dated itself, as sooo many science fictions have become dated.

A wonderful way to snuggle up on a very cold day, and relive the joy and excitement of the origianl series.
